Simple Aldi Recipes: Cornflakes Chicken

One of my oldest son's favorite meals is cornflakes chicken, a simple recipe that my mother taught me many years ago. My eight-year-old son is currently my chef's assistance, as I keep telling him that he will soon be off to college cooking for himself.

Luckily he likes to help out in the kitchen, in fact my biggest problem is almost too much help in the kitchen, as keeping track of three little ones while cooking can be quite a task.


Cornflakes chicken is very a very simple recipe, and it is definitely a favorite at my house. By using ingredients from Aldi and from my deal hunting at other stores, cornflakes chicken has turned out to become a very frugal meal as well.




Ingredients needed:
Chicken legs
